Anker Portable DC Charger

Put a few of these in trunk to charge the bz4x on the go or when offroading. Expansion unit is only $1799 to double the size. Weighs 132 lbs.

I called the company and sales man assured me this charges directly DC to dc, no ac.

I am debating between this and the whole home unit as an entire home battery to offset my daily electricity rates by charging battery at low rates and discharging when hourly price is high. This unit is portable the other unit is fixed in garage same as a Tesla power wall 3 but cheaper.

Bjorn Nyland (Teslabjorn on YouTube) uses a pair of these for his very planned out zero mile tests, so he knows he only needs a few km of range to get to a real charger. They wouldn't be practical for the average user to extend range. However, they may be a nice back up for power outages, to keep your freezer and refrigerator cold without running a generator.

Yeah, I am planning to get the larger model to power home called solix x1. Using hourly pricing should reduce electric bill 80% but will cost $7.5k. ROI is ~18 months
